Custom Dog Grooming

Custom Dog Grooming is a small, owner-run grooming service in Northfield, in Adelaide's inner north, where Lesley grooms one dog at a time rather than working a busy salon floor. Customers describe it as genuinely hands-on: the same person greets, washes, clips and finishes each dog, and several families say they happily drive more than an hour to keep coming back. Mini schnauzer owners single out her breed grooms in particular, and the work is repeatedly described as thorough.

The thread running through the feedback is calm. Dogs that dislike having their coat cut, older dogs who have been coming for years, and pets that get unsettled in salon environments are all said to relax here, largely because they know Lesley and the pace is unhurried. Reviewers also call the service well priced and good value, and a number have been bringing the same dog for the better part of a decade. It suits senior dogs, nervous dogs, and anyone after a one-on-one alternative to a larger shopfront salon.
